    Have we gone with the small brass candlestick idea?

    We need a decision.

    And then I need you to go out to the people you trust.

    I can't be doing with all this lets....... but sh it.

    Have you any better ideas?

    Yes St Albans - I'm sure the board could easily rustle up a holiday for Sue but I'd rather it was on a favours basis rather than charidee and I suspect Sue probably feels the same way. Perhaps Wageslave could organise us - send me a PM and let me know what I need to do.
    I think....

    sorry totally butting in but i lurk alot just rarely post.

    Can sue not open up a paypal account of her own, not add her bank card details to it just leave it closed off and then people can donate whatever they want to that account through whatever means they choose to use be it selling on ebay, doing 1-2 hours overtime so Sue and her boys can have a holiday.

    I think the logistics of everyone sending stuff to Sue to ebay would be huge plus I doubt she would have the time to photograph, list, pack and send everything as well as coping with her caring responsibilities.

    Other idea is maybe everyone could fling £20 into the pot. £20 for every poster on the boad including sockies and AE. Only 50 of them and you have 1k. I think over the next 12 ish weeks most people could dig out £20 from somewhere. I could and will if someone pm's me where to send it/what to do

Wageslave you are being very 'male' in this wanting to solve things rather than discuss and share approach so may be you have volunteered yourself to organise things - send me a PM and let me know what I need to do.

    You can do better, I am willing to yield the floor.

    Only men can solve this, women must endlessly discuss?

    Again, I wield the floor.

    Take it away pixel........

    I am on your side

    Actually I am on any side that gets something done.

    I have never come across so many people long on talk, short on action

    Is it an English thing?
